Affordable Switch 2 Launch Game: Fast Fusion at $14.99!

Summary

  • Fast Fusion will be priced at $14.99, making it one of the console’s most affordable day-one games for the Switch 2.
  • The futuristic arcade racer so far hasn’t been confirmed for any other platform.
  • The Switch 2 will have four other exclusives at launch, which is scheduled for June 5.

As a thrilled fan, I can’t help but share that on day one, the Switch 2 game Fast Fusion is officially priced at just $14.99. This budget-friendly cost will make it one of the most wallet-friendly Switch 2 games during the console’s launch period, a fact that has me even more excited to dive into this new gaming adventure!

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t wait to get my hands on “Fast Fusion” when Switch 2 drops! This electrifying racer is one of the five games confirmed to launch alongside the console on its debut day. Hailing from the creative minds at Shin’en Multimedia GmbH in Germany, this game promises a vibrant, futuristic universe where anti-gravity racing isn’t just a dream but a thriving sport. It’s going to be an exhilarating ride!

Approximately six weeks before its scheduled launch, the game titled “Fast Fusion” was made available on the eShop, priced at $14.99. This places it among the most reasonably priced upcoming titles for Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike the upcoming “Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour,” which is technically cheaper, it offers a more comprehensive gaming experience rather than being primarily an interactive sneak peek. However, some fans have voiced criticism over the $9.99 price tag of the “Welcome Tour,” finding it hard to justify, particularly when compared to Nintendo’s past practice of offering games like “Wii Sports” for free.

Fast Fusion Was Originally Announced With a Higher Price Tag

Directly following the unveiling of “Fast Fusion” during the April 2nd Nintendo Direct, Shin’en Multimedia posted the game’s press kit which labeled it as a $19.99 title. The recent appearance of the game on the eShop indicates that the price of this arcade racer may have been lowered at some point since its initial reveal. It’s not unheard of for a game yet to be released to have an incorrect price on the eShop, but such instances are quite rare.

The fastest racer announced for Switch 2 so far is ‘Fast Fusion’, priced affordably. On the opposite end of the spectrum at the launch price of games for the console is ‘Mario Kart World’, tagged at a hefty $80. In Europe, the sequel to Mario Kart 8 will be even more costly, retailing at an eye-popping €90 (approximately $102). However, it’s important to note that the price difference between these markets may not be as significant as it appears initially. This is because the U.S. price doesn’t factor in sales tax, which can vary by state. In contrast, most European retailers are obligated to include VAT in their advertised prices.>

Although Fast Fusion and Mario Kart World will initially be available only on the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s likely that Fast Fusion might eventually become playable on other platforms since it isn’t developed or published by Nintendo. The initial exclusive games for the new console include Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, Survival Kids, and the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour.
